I really like that color and ordered CRT, black wheels, mirrors and spoiler (I know some don't like this look, I think it looks great) and black 2LT interior.

I noticed that also, but wasn't 100% sure due to the lighting.
It is however a different car indeed. The Bloomington car also had red calipers.
Just excited to see the (almost) car that I have on order.

It's a great color. It carries off both the "sporting" and the "classy" look very well. Nice way to have red without it being loud.

Crystal red is without doubt the biggest camelion color.....I absolutely love it in some shots and its utterly boring in others....Just saw it at Mosport raceway during the ALMS races.....boring as hell in the sun,,,under the tent, pretty damn cool...............so no CRM for me....the Torch red in the new Magazing article videos just blows me away....

Wow, that's MY C7! Only difference is I got the black wheels. Originally ordered the CGM but saw pictures of the CRT at Bloomington, changed ordered that day with my dealer and never looked back. 3LT Kalahari interior. The pictures look so much better than the renderings that were out earlier and members who have posted say CRT is even better in person. Thanks for the pictures, can't wait. Hoping to get picked up soon, one C7 ahead of me at dealer. When is next consensus, August 1st?

I too like the crystal red but I have to admit my personal favorite that I would LOVE brought back was the ORIGINAL Magnetic Red from 1999 on the C5. Does anyone remember THAT color, not the Mag Red II they brought out later which is very similar to crystal red of today. The Magnetic Red from 1999 was one of the best colors I have ever seen. A TRUE candy apple red, much deeper and richer than crystal red of today, in my opinion. If that color is ever offered again, I will sell what I have and buy it, damn do I miss that color... Ah, the memories...
